That's a bit of a stretch; they had little processing power. All they did was transfer text. Is a Fax machine an " early online computer"?

So, it's not just that gun "control" laws that are insane...

The fact that it's an off duty copper seems irrelevant. In which case will there be a sudden outbreak of people "accidentally going into the wrong apartment and shooting the occupier". If this case sets a precedent, why won't others do the same thing?

Never believe atoms; they make everything up.

One observation that would make it clear that the talk of "antisemitism" in the Labour party is just a political ploy would be if the people making the assertions didn't do what they are rebuking their opponents for doing. Well... https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-conservative-party-rulebook-doesnt-mention-antisemitism https://evolvepolitics.com/the-conservative-party-still-havent-adopted-any-of-the-11-ihra-definition-examples-of-antisemitism-in-their-rulebook/ So, people might wonder how upset the Tories are about anti Jewish statements, given that their own rules permit them. That's just as well given the actions of some Tories. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-26059862 Maybe the allegation of "-antisemitism-in-the-labour-party" is a lie.

Are transistors the fundamental components of all computers? No. There are no transistors in my brain. The first electrical computers used valves. There were mechanical computers before that.

Indeed, and at the time when sunshine is available (because the woodland canopy isn't in place yet), they waste time with flowers- which could wait until later in the year. I wonder it it's also to do with leaf litter.

Being the "first flower in spring" means that you don't have so much competition for pollinating insects etc. That, in turn, means you don't have to work so hard attracting them. Early flowers are (it seems to me) often smallish, and bland. (White or yellow rather than the more complex dyes you need for reds + blues) It's less important whether your flowers get sunshine than whether your leaves do.

Isn't 100 times sweeter than sucrose good enough? OK, how about 2000 times as sweet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaumatin or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monellin

Spring flowering plants are specialists in "getting in early". Since "early" doesn't last long, their flowers don't need to last.

Did you miss the point, or are you ignoring it? Do you really not understand the idea of relative velocity?

Yes. Since eddy currents are only caused by changes in magnetic fields (and thus by changes in currents) but static electricity is- definitively- static... static electricity can not give rise to eddy currents.

Imagine two electrons travelling down an X ray tube, They both reach the anode. One hits something- another electron for example, and comes to a halt (emitting Xrays). Now look at it from the point of view of the other electron. It is watching its friend as they both pass down the tube. Suddenly another electron rushes up and crashes into it and causes it to accelerate and emit Xrays. It's the same event and the same Xray emission But from one point of view, it's acceleration- and from the other perspective it is deceleration. So, how can there be a distinction between the two since it's just a matter of perspective?

Is the purpose of fruit different in the Tropics, or is this not actually an answer to the OP's question? Generally, there are more things growing in the Tropics, so there is more competition to get eaten (that's an odd concept...) So, there's more sunlight available to make sugar and more incentive to do so too. Some plants cheat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia

The magnetic field will vary at the frequency of the laser- about 5 * 10^14 times a second. You could use a lower frequency radiation but that would increase the wavelength - so you wouldn't be able to focus it to a small point.

Most food contains copper. It ends up in waste treatment / storage systems. They cope. The issue is, as always, the dose.

To get the MRI you need a constant magnetic field. But that from a laser changes zillions of times a second.

They do https://www.researchgate.net/publication/289333698_Magnetic_separation_of_oxygen_from_air If you want nitric acid, why would you want to separate the gases? They need to be together to react.

Oxygen is weakly magnetic. You could separate them but it would take a very powerful magnet. Why would you want to?

Or there's this option.

My Italian/ Spanish/ whatever is poor to non existent, but you seem to be trying to separate the nitrogen and the oxygen. Why bother?

You can't.

In principle, in that same way that I emit infrared, I also emit radiation with wavelengths of the order of light years. Is there a cut off? I probably won't live 100 years, so I can't easily see how I can emit a photon with a wavelength longer than that.

Something like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkeland–Eyde_process

How will you get it in "the right place"?
